Abstract:
Devices and methods of fabricating integrated circuit devices for forming assymetric line/space with barrierless metallization are provided. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device having a substrate, a dielectric matrix, and a hardmask, the dielectric matrix including a set of trenches etched into the dielectric matrix and a set of dielectric fins comprising the dielectric matrix, wherein the set of trenches and the set of dielectric fins are of equal width; damaging an inner surface of each trench of the set of trenches; etching the damaged material of the trenches removing the damaged material of the dielectric matrix; removing the hardmask; and metallizing the trenches by depositing a metal directly on the dielectric matrix with no barrier between the metal and the dielectric matrix after the etching. Also disclosed is an intermediate device formed by the method.
